How to get Spellcheck to check single-line entries?
I recently had to create a new profile to fix a problem with my old FF. But now the new profile, being new, does not spellcheck single-line entries (as in the "question" above.) But does spellcheck text entry boxes (such as the one I am typing in right now.)
I know there is an about:config parameter change to make this happen, but I can't find it documented anywhere. Is there an about:config document? Failing that can someone tell me what change I need to make?

The unofficial MozillaZine site has great documentation on many of the preferences in about:config. For that one:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.spellcheckDefault
So this should work:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste SPEL and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the layout.spellcheckDefault preference and change it from 1 to 2 to spell check single-line controls as well as multi-line controls.
Note: this should turn spell checking on by default, but sites can still turn it off.

Thanks for the quick response.
Note that you can also find helpful comments in the Firefox source code for a lot of prefs.
